New Album: Firewind - Few Against The Many
Release Date: 21st May
Greek melodic metal act Firewind, featuring acclaimed guitarist Gus G (who’s played with Ozzy Osbourne) are excited to announce their new release “Few Against Many” in Europe on May 21st. They also have a new distribution deal for North America DisManic Inc via eOne Distribution, and the new album will be the first release from this partnership.
Band driving force Gus G commented that North American territory is relatively new ground for the band and since the music industry is changing drastically these days, they wanted to be more in control.
Firewind’s reputation as one of Europe’s premier metal bands was further cemented after the release of the critically lauded ‘Days Of Defiance’ which saw the band tour the world including festival appearances at Sonisphere UK, Graspop and Hellfest, support slots in Greece with Judas Priest & Scorpions and successful headline tours in Europe, Japan and North America.
Produced by Gus G, ‘Few Against Many’, was recorded with long time band mates vocalist Apollo Papathanasio, Bob Katsionis (keyboards/guitar) and bassist Petros Christo at “Valve Studio” in Greece as well as “The Sweetspot Studios” in Sweden and sees the band expand on their signature melodic sound with some of their most aggressive songs to date.
‘Few Against Many’ also marks the recording debut of new Firewind drummer Johan Nunez (Nightrage). The young Belgian is regarded by Gus as a ‘phenomenal talent’, and anyone that witnessed him on the band’s ‘Defiance…’ world tour will no doubt agree.
Firewind have already announced a few summer festival appearances (including ‘Summer Breeze’ in Germany and Czech Republic’s ‘Masters Of Rock’) and will be announcing many more as well as the ‘Few Against Many’ world tour in the coming months.
